From the office of City Administrator Don Ferguson and the City of Wimberley website:

Wimberley City Council voted unanimously Thursday night Feb. 19 to stop the pubic hearing process and further consideration of a proposed citywide zoning map.

In addition, the council is expected to consider a resolution on March 5, 2009, directing the Planning and Zoning Commission to proceed with the process of zoning only those unzoned tracts of property based on their existing use and provide property owners wishing to change their current zoning a City fee free opportunity to do so.

Meanwhile, the Planning and Zoning Commission is expected to continue efforts to implement the modifications to the City's planning areas and development standards as recommended in the recent update of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
